After transmigrating into the body of a wicked female, her beast husband's affection level incr

run!

Without even thinking about the direction, she turned and ran.

The wind whipped up as I ran, and the piercing roars of ferocious beasts echoed behind me.

The more nervous she became, the more she wanted to joke around.

This background music could be used as background music in a horror game.

The shrill cries behind us grew closer and closer.

She turned around abruptly and knelt on the ground.

The moment the crossbow switch was pulled, two arrows coated with potent poison shot out.

After the mournful chirping of birds, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was heard.

Seeing the two ferocious beasts lying in front of her, Xu Wan instantly lost all strength and sat on the ground, breathing heavily.

[Host, now's the time to extract the beast crystal!]

"Yes, beast crystals..."

She got up from the ground, took out a dagger from her system backpack, and with trembling hands, dissected the beast's skull.

Looking at the beast crystal glowing white in her hand, she blinked, a hint of doubt flashing across her face.

"A fourth-tier ferocious beast died so easily? Was it too weak, or am I too strong?"

She placed the two glowing beast crystals into the animal skin bag, leaned against the tree, and opened the system map.

The rabbit tribe is located to her southeast.

Based on her current hiking distance, she'll probably die before she gets back.

"No, we need to find Zhuyou first."

According to Du Yu, Zhu You should have chased out of the forest. After falling down, she was caught by Du Yu and escaped here.

Xu Wan quickly marked data on the map, and after a moment, she circled a range on the map.

"If nothing unexpected happens, this is the place."

She left without hesitation, remembering to pull out the crossbow bolt and put it back into the animal skin bag.

"Eight hundred points, don't waste them."

[Host, I think crossbows might not be enough.]

As soon as the system finished speaking, she looked up at the sky and uttered a phrase from the national treasure.

With nothing around to block her view, she took off running.

Behind them, the dark mass wasn't the sky, but flocks of other birds and ferocious beasts.

At least ten!

Xu Wan roared to the sky.

"This completely unrelated thing came all this way just to mess with me!"

She quickly scanned the system shop, her gaze finally settling on the Fiery Gun with 4000 points.

She silently thought to herself that it was a dangerous move, and then decisively pressed the redemption button.

The raging flames erupted the moment the switch was pressed.

The firelight blinded her, so she could only shoot indiscriminately.

Her originally soft face became sore and red from the ever-increasing temperature.

Hearing the sound of something heavy hitting the ground, she forced herself to open her eyes a crack.

The charred remains of the ferocious beasts piled up like a small mountain in front of them.

When the fuel ran out, she was completely exhausted and staggered two steps before collapsing to the ground.

The burnt smell in the air made her feel nauseous, and she couldn't help but kneel down next to the tree and dry heave.

"vomit……"

At that very moment, one of the ferocious beasts flapped its charred wings and struggled to pounce on her.

"what!"

My already uncomfortable body nearly fainted.

Xu Wan resisted the urge to shoot it with a crossbow bolt, closed her eyes, and began to mobilize her mental energy and supernatural abilities, trying to control its consciousness.

"Put me on the tree in front..."

The beast's movements paused for a moment, and its rising motion changed direction, causing it to fly towards the tree.

At the same time Xu Wan was put down, she drew her crossbow and thrust it in.

Enduring the excruciating pain of the birdsong that seemed to rupture her eardrums, she exerted force, and the arrow pierced the beast's body completely.

The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground rang out again. She leaned against the tree trunk and raised her hand to touch her injured shoulder and back.

She simply used the moonlight to apply the spiritual spring water to all the scratches and abrasions on her body.

The pain of having all her limbs and bones restored came at once, and Xu Wan curled up in pain.

"Well……"

When the effects of the medicine wore off, she was soaked in sweat.

[Tongzi, is there a river nearby?]

Yes, it's about 20 meters to your left and slightly in front.

Xu Wan nodded, leaned against the tree trunk for a while to catch her breath, and then climbed down from the tree.

As she passed the corpse of the ferocious beast, she took out another crossbow bolt and retrieved yet another fourth-tier beast crystal.

The animal skin skirt she was wearing was already tattered and torn.

She went into the river to wash away the bloodstains from her body.

She then took out a new animal skin skirt and some fruit from the emergency storage space.

After finishing her meal, she found a nearby tree, climbed it, and used her last bit of energy to exchange it for a 24-hour protective shield from the mall.

Looking at her newly reset online store balance, Xu Wan twitched her lips and muttered to herself.

"We've gone back to square one..."

She leaned against the tree trunk, closed her eyes, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

"Zhuyou...wait for me..."

*

When the sunlight shone on Xu Wan's face, she frowned and subconsciously tried to turn over to avoid the light.

The feeling of weightlessness instantly brought her back to her senses. She reached out and hugged the tree trunk tightly, letting out a heavy sigh of relief.

"It would be too embarrassing to tell anyone if I didn't get killed by the ferocious beast but instead fell to my death."

After taking an apple from her spatial storage and eating it, Xu Wan sat on a tree and looked around.

She opened the system map and watched as she got further and further away from the location she had marked, shaking her head helplessly.

"Could it be that I'm bound to a 'Ferocious Beast Charmer System'? Otherwise, how come I encounter ferocious beasts every time I go out?"

She climbed down from the tree, and just in case, used her life points as credits to exchange for two crossbow bolts.

Looking at her remaining 73 hours of health, she rubbed her forehead.

I attribute the feeling of fatigue upon waking to mental exhaustion.

[Host, Little Blue Flower seems to be dying.]

Xu Wan's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly returned to the system space, looking at the listless little blue flower.

She stepped forward, and the little blue flower slowly rubbed against her fingers before quickly drooping down.

"What happened?"

[Host, as I mentioned before, the little blue flower is likely related to your mental power.]

She paused in stroking the small blue flower. "You mean, she's the vessel for my spiritual power?"

[That's theoretically true, but to verify it further, we need to find your beast husband first.]

"You mean... my recovery of mental strength is also related to my contact with them?"

After exiting the system space, she leaned against a tree, closed her eyes, and began to sort through the information she had received.

When she touched the beast crystal inside the animal skin bag, she seemed to remember something and took the beast crystal out and placed it in her palm.

Zhu You said that the blood of ferocious beasts can harm females.

She looked at her hands, now stained again but showing no signs of corrosion, and murmured to herself.

"Then why... am I okay?"

As her gaze fell upon the beast crystal in her hand, Xu Wan's doubts from the previous night resurfaced.

"There are fewer than ten fourth-tier orcs on the entire continent. Are fourth-tier ferocious beasts... more numerous than orcs?"

If that's the case, then the Canglan Continent should have been ruled by ferocious beasts long ago.

She couldn't help but recall the third-tier beast crystal that Zhu You had obtained last time.

"Do these beast crystals... truly represent their level?"
